SUMMARY:The Data Behind Agents: Building Intelligent\, Safe\, AI Systems
DESCRIPTION:AI agents dominate current industry discussion\, yet clear explanations of what they are\, why they fail\, and what roles they are creating remain scarce. \nThis session offers a foundational introduction for students and early-career technologists. We’ll examine what distinguishes an agent from a conventional chatbot — tools\, memory\, and planning loops — and trace an agent through the completion of a realistic task. We then turn to the less-demonstrated half of the problem: the data an agent requires to be useful\, and the boundaries it requires to be safe.
